Yeah, but all motors have a cam in them...lol.
But seriously, you can get countless cam grinds for different performance. I'm assuming all this does is basically mirror the performance curve of the factory cam...which seems to lack in the low end. The comments I've seen about the 1.7's are mostly from guys with 5.2's.

The 1.7 rockers multiply your lift which allows the cylinder to fill up with a bigger charge. Basically the valve goes deeper into the cylinder which allows more air and fuel to pass thru the valve opening.
The stock cam has a .432 lift on the intake and exhaust valves. The stock rocker ratio is 1.6 on the magnum engine. Divide .432 by 1.6 then multiply by the new 1.7 rocker ratio and your new lift becomes .459 at max open that's .027 inches more room to get air and fuel in at max lift. Also, when the lifter starts to travel up the cam's lobe, it pushes the valve open just a bit further across the cam lobes entire ground-in duration. Basically is amplifies the cam's lobe to make it taller, but not wider.
